Holiday Calm for Dogs & Cats: A Relaxed Season Starts at Home

The holidays bring everything pets notice most: doorbells, visitors, new scents, suitcases, different routines, and sometimes big noise (hello, fireworks and storms). Even confident pets can get edgy when their world changes fast. The good news? A calmer season usually comes down to a few smart habits—and the right kind of gentle support.

If your dog or cat tends to get stressed around travel, company, or unpredictable holiday excitement, Hemp Well’s Calm collection is designed to help support relaxation and balanced behavior with easy options for both species: soft chews and oils for dogs and cats, plus Calm Bird Oil for feathered family members.

And all through the house not a creature was stirring, well, maybe, just a mouse.

Why the Holidays Can Stress Pets Out

• More people + less personal space: new voices, hugs, and hands reaching for them.
• Routine changes: feeding/walk times shift; naps get interrupted.
• Travel + car rides: unfamiliar places and smells can trigger anxiety.
• Noise: holiday parties, storms, fireworks, and even a busy kitchen.

When you recognize the triggers, you can plan ahead instead of reacting mid-meltdown.

Meet Hemp Well Calm: Chews and Oils for Dogs & Cats

Option 1: Calm Soft Chews (Great for Daily Holiday Support)

For cats, Hemp Well Calm Cat Soft Chews are made to help “take the edge off” during common stressors like visitors, travel, storms, and routine changes, using organic hemp plus calming ingredients including chamomile, valerian root, and melatonin.

Option 2: Calm Oils (Flexible, Fast and Easy to Mix into Food)

Oils are a go-to when you want flexible serving sizes—especially useful during travel days, holiday gatherings, or anytime you need to adjust support based on your pet’s size and situation. Hemp Well notes that oils can be added to food or given orally for fast absorption. 

Hemp Well Calm Dog Oil is formulated with soothing ingredients like chamomile, melatonin, lemon balm, and organic hemp seed oil to support a calm, balanced mood during triggers such as travel, fireworks, vet visits, or time alone. 

Hemp Well Calm Cat Oil is designed for common feline stress from noise, travel, or routine changes, and combines chamomile, melatonin, and lemon balm—without fillers.

How to Use Calm Products During the Holidays (Simple Plan)

1) Start early—don’t wait for panic

If you know a hectic week is coming, begin supporting calmness a few days ahead so your pet’s routine stays steady. Soft chews are especially easy to work into a daily rhythm. 

2) Pair Calm support with a “safe zone”

Set up a quiet room or crate space with familiar bedding, a water bowl, and a favorite toy. During gatherings, that safe zone becomes your pet’s “off switch.” Add a white-noise machine or fan if outside sounds are a trigger.

3) Use oils when flexibility matters

For picky eaters (especially cats), oils can be mixed into wet food or given as directed on the label. Hemp Well’s cat FAQ also notes that soft chews can be crumbled into food, and liquid drops can be added to wet food or given by mouth. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

4) Keep things boring on purpose

On busy days, keep meals, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime as consistent as you can. Calm support works best when your pet’s environment isn’t changing in every direction at once.

Holiday Safety Note (Worth the 20 Seconds)

Any supplement should be introduced thoughtfully. Hemp Well includes standard cautions (for example, consult a veterinarian if your pet’s condition worsens or doesn’t improve). If you’re introducing Calm support for the first time—especially for cats—starting low and easing in can help.
